Nollywood actor and Democratic People’s Congress, DPC, governorship candidate for the Anambra election, Yul Edochie, has denied endorsing Willie Obiano, the incumbent governor of the state.
Mr. Edochie said on Twitter he was still in the race after reports surfaced Saturday afternoon claiming he had stepped down for Mr. Obiano.
Mr. Edochie said a video appearing to show him backing Mr. Obiano was shot two years ago.
He threatened legal action if the footage was not removed. The governorship election in Anambra is expected to be a close contest between four leading candidates.
However, there are 37 candidates in the election including five women.
Voting has ended at many polling centres and counting has commenced.

These corrupt men are trying so hard to frustrate the efforts of this young man...

Too bad. What baffles me the most was the video I saw his father endorsing the incumbent governor. No support for the young people at all; even we don't support each other most of the time. All these has to change.

And the people that were supposed to come out and vote, were brainwashed to sit at home, now tell me what will be their fate tomorrow... Are they going to pack out of Anambara State because they never voted the governor in? They've been fooled yet again.

Maybe we still think that a youth can't really rule this nation, and maybe we also still believe that more young youths can't own up like Mr. Yull Edochie has done. Until the youths of this nation realise & put sentiments & ethnocentrism aside, we will not see a 35 - 45 year old as president or governor in this country anytime soon. We have to come together as one voice to actually effect that positive changes we wanna see.

@Browayson: Well said. Happy weekend. Nigeria is a funny country. I think what constituted to Yul's mockery was his choice of political party. Unlike Desmond Elliot who went with the CORE PARTY that brought him to political limelight
